If you called the 2148440000 number and got time and temp, and waited for a while, you would get dial tone back. This was BOA's dial tone from their pbx. If you then dialed out, the number you called would gat the caller ID from BOA saying they were getting the call from 2148440000. Kids used this to prank call a lot. I think the BOA number in Dallas has now been changed because of this, or could be that they just got a new PBX. As much as I dislike BOA, It was not actually them that was making the outgoing calls.
recalled this number and got bank of america time and temperature service. very annoyed as we are first of all not BOA customers, and second of all, we are across the world in different time zone 12 hours off of Dallas (where the call came from), but with vonage service we brought our american phone number here, and we are getting phone calls from businesses in the middle of the night, waking us constantly.
I am not a BofA member and I received the same call. They called me all day sometimes up to 6 times in a row. It was pretty funny...and then annoying. I also got a really odd number 2348070509239. Not sure if that is some *82 crap or something.
just received a call from this number, a recording came on telling me that this is my final chance to receive a break on my interest rates. I pressed 1 to get a live person. The operator said she was from "Financial Services" and asked for my name and number to verify and gain access into their database. I refused to give details and continued to question who she worked for.
The more I challenged her, the more she hid behind the symantics of "she didn't call me". I got a little angry and raised my voice. She then hung up.
Like Tekky...I too got the call from this number... pressed one for the live operator and told her (as this was like the 50th call) to take me off their
list. Her response to me was... verbatim... "Fat F***ing Chance A**ho**
and even reporting this number to the Do Not Call registry doesn't seem
to get me anywhere!
